SPA SURFACE CARE

Do not use abrasive solvents or cleaners to clean spa

surfaces.  Only use the following: Lemon Juice, Amonia,

Vinegar or Soap and Water.

LONG-TERM STORAGE (90 days or more)

We strongly urge you to contact your dealer to winterize

your spa.

If you are not going to use your spa for an extended period

of time, drain it as described above. You will also have to drain the
pump. Water left in the spa during long-term storage may cause freeze
damage.*

To drain the pump, remove the drain plug from the face of the pump.
Additional water removal is required to prevent freeze damage to the
spa plumbing assembly.  Remove the piping assembly between the
pump and the heater by loosening the union at the pump and the
union at the heater.  Once the piping is removed, use a wet/dry shop
vac to vacuum water from both the pump side and the heater side
openings.  Once all water is removed from these lines, we also recom-
mend that you place the vacuum over each jet and the suction fittings
and vacuum any remaining water that may be trapped in these lines.
You may now reinstall the piping assembly that was removed earlier
and reinstall the pump plug.

NOTE:

We also recommend vacuuming each jet opening to ensure

that all of the water is out of the plumbing lines.

*FREEZE DAMAGE TO THE SPA PLUMBING IS NOT COV-

ERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

SPA PILLOW MAINTENANCE 

• Your spa pillows need to be washed and rinsed periodically to
remove any chemical residue.  This should help to eliminate pillows
becoming stiff and discolored. Note: Your spa pillows are not covered
under your warranty.
• If the spa is not to be used for a period of time, pillows should be
removed. This will extend the life of the pillow.
